LYNN - Despite falling behind in the first 10 minutes against No. 13 Concord-Carlisle, No. 1 seeded St. John’s Prep boys soccer wasn’t concerned about its fate in Monday night’s Division I state semifinal.

“Also last year we were in the same situation, we went down early so most of our gigs have been there, we weren’t worried at all.”
